Prepare for 46 kilometres of sublime New Zealand landscapes on this iconic guided walk from Christchurch to Akaroa. Your exploration of the beautiful Banks Peninsula begins with a walk to Diamond Harbour on the first day. You'll meet your guide and fellow walkers and begin the 18.5 kilometre walk along the interesting and historical Packhorse Track over McQueens Pass to Mt Bradley, and on the way enjoy commanding views of Lyttelton Harbour. Then it's on to Mt Herbert and peaceful Diamond Harbour, where you'll spend the night.

Day two sees you heading for Pentrip Lodge, taking in breathtaking scenery as you cover the 16kms, looking out over Port Levy, Pigeon Bay, Lake Forsyth and (in the distance) Kaitorete Spit. You'll also get your first glimpse of Akaroa Harbour, before arriving to a cold beverage and a hot spa at Pentrip Lodge. Then you can tuck into a barbecue dinner, with fresh Akaroa smoked salmon and local produce - which is served while you relax on the deck, or by the fire.

Day three is an 11 kilometre walk to Akaroa, stopping at the oldest living tree on Banks Peninsula - a 2000 year old Totara. Then it's on to French Peak, high above Akaroa Harbour, offering incredible views as you make your gentle descent into Wainui. That evening you'll dine at one of Akaroa’s best restaurants… where you can relax and reminisce about your successful trip across Banks Peninsula. A transfer back to Christchurch is included for the following morning, or you may wish to stay an extra night or two in Akaroa (your own arrangements).

Voucher Guarantee

Getting more bang for your buck

Good news:

GrabOne’s Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!

How does it work?

A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.

If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used as credit towards that service with that business for an additional three months.

For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don’t use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher as credit towards a bungy jump, for another three months.

A few things to note:

The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.

During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.

If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.

The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
